Wait, what's wrong with this? The wife has a confirmed ticket, and the baby is 9 months old which makes him a "baby in arms" for the wife. Those two will travel regardless of whether or not the jumpseater gets on. If the jumpseater gets on, the wife is holding the BIA. What if you get a seat next to the wife? Are you really saying it's "illegal" to hold your baby while your wife takes a break. Sounds hard to believe. It's not like you are primarily travelling with hte baby as a jumpseater. It's one thing if you walk into the flight deck with a baby asking to jumpseat. But the wife has the baby as BIA with a confirmed ticket.

First learn the difference between a direct flight and a non-stop. You want to take a non-stop.
Next weigh the pros and cons of leaving your kid with your wife while you go home first. I imagine traveling with her is your best option.

Just make sure the baby checks in with the Captain. If the baby is in CASS, there may be room in the cockpit for it to sit behind the FO seat if they move the seat up.
Just make sure the baby asks for the ride and thanks them afterwards.

I think you should give it a shot. You are well within your right to ask.
